Still the BCM. The BCM takes the switch inputs and controls each door lock actuator separately. You can test for voltage at the plug to confirm.

Hey, dont feel too bad. I am having the same problems. Almost identical to what you have described.

1996 Chev Camaro Z28 6-speed. No prior issues with any power features.

problems progressed in the following order:
-passenger side window inop at both driver and passenger switch.
-no repair, window resumes normal operation (1 week of non-operation)
-2 weeks, no issues
-key fob lock/unlock becomes intermittent - (no issues with either driver or pass lock/unlock switches)
-replace fob battery, no improvement. at this point, i note that using key fob still activates/deactivates alarm, AND audible relay click behind glove box.
-following day, power locks completely non operational via driver/pass switches as well as key fobs, audible relay click remains when @ driver lock/unlock, key fob lock/unlock, and passenger LOCK ONLY. unlock does not produce clicking of relay.
- same day, interior lights completely inop. rearview mirror reading lamp switch of no use.

- tried soldering BCM points as depicted in other threads. no improvement.

Problem solved. Courtesy fuse blown. Replaced. Good as new.
